VALIANT JOAN (11) finished 2 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1000m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Should be prominent from the outset. Best form puts her right in this. RICHKISS (12) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage sixth over 1000m at this track. Rates highly in this line up. Gets her chance. DAICOS (8) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a sixth at Barcaldine two starts back then scored by 1.1 lengths as public elect last time out over 1000m at this track. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. PALAZZO SPIRIT (2) was below his best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths over 1200m at this track. Well placed and should be thereabouts.
